That&#8217;s one of the big differences between KSU and TCU at this point in the process, but that doesn&#8217;t mean the Wildcats aren&#8217;t getting the job done.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63738&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Despite being just 50th in passing yards and 58th in rushing yards, the team is averaging 38.3 points per game. That number is good enough for 16th in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Defensively, this team is ranked 12th in points allowed, giving up just 18.6 per contest. The team is just 53rd in passing defense; however, it&#8217;s ninth in rushing yards allowed per game.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=66501&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Kansas State is 5-2-1 ATS this season, while TCU is 7-1.<\/p>\n<h3>TCU<\/h3>\n<p>TCU did not play a clean game last week. Sneaking away with a one-point win was not what they hoped for, but a win is a win, and the team is looking to put together a more convincing showing in Week 11.<\/p>\n<p>On the year, TCU&#8217;s offense has excelled. We know it&#8217;s flashy, but the numbers show just how productive it&#8217;s been as well.<\/p>\n<p>Throwing the ball, the Horned Frogs are sixth in the nation. They average 335.9 yards per contest through the air.<\/p>\n<p>On the ground, TCU is 33rd in yards. It picks up 214.1 yards per contest in that category.<\/p>\n<p>In total, the Horned Frogs are second in the country in points per game, which will cause trouble for Kansas State in this one.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63739&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<h3>NCAA Football Handicapping Trends:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>KSU are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games in November.<\/li>\n<li>KSU are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games on grass.<\/li>\n<li>Over is 37-15 in KSU last 52 games in November.<\/li>\n<li>TCU are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall.<\/li>\n<li>Over is 7-3 in TCU last 10 games overall.<\/li>\n<li>Over is 13-6 in TCU last 19 games in November.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Week 11 NCAA Football<\/h3>\n<p>Both TCU and Kansas State are in the hunt for a spot in the first-ever College Football Playoffs. The winner will be one step closer to making that happen.<\/p>\n<p>The loser will almost certainly be out of the running.<\/p>\n<h3>Free NCAA Betting Pick 4*\u00a0Kansas State +6<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re talking straight up, TCU should get the victory. The Horned Frogs&#8217; defense is over-looked, and forcing turnovers could be what gets them the win.<\/p>\n<p>That said, this should be a close contest down to the end, and against the spread, we could see Kansas State pull off the upset.<\/p>\n<h3>Check out our\u00a0<a title=\"College Football Week 11 Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/ncaaf.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated College Football Week 11 Odds<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63706&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 11: Wildcats vs. Horned Frogs Week 11 college betting action sees the\u00a0No. 7\u00a0Kansas State Wildcats\u00a0taking on the No. 6\u00a0TCU Horned Frogs\u00a0at Amon G.
